I've noticed several meds have a brief increase in side effects - especially anxiety - right after a step-up, but subsiding in a few days (or more depending on the AD).
Have you ever been tested for reactive hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)? It can feel almost exactly like a panic attack, and in the reactive form typically comes on suddenly after eating sugar or other quickly metabolized carbohydrates. Perhaps your med. is inducing it - it seems to me I've read some ADs do affect blood sugar.
I had reactive hypoglycemia for a while - mostly controlled by diet. Niacinamide 500 mg also helps, although there are are fancier & more expensive drugs.
